We Are Inconsolable At Being Deceived By

Truth Does Less Good In The World Than Its Appearances Do Harm.

Were We Perfectly Acquainted With The Object, We Should Never Passionately Desire It.

The Passions Do Very Often Give Birth To Others Of A Nature Most Contrary To Their Own. Thus Avarice Sometimes Brings Forth Prodigality, And Prodigality Avarice; A Man's Resolution Is Very Often The Effect Of Levity, And His Boldness That Of Cowardice And Fear.

To Eat Is A Necessity, But To Eat Intelligently Is An Art.

The Constancy Of The Wise Is Only The Art Of Keeping Disquietude To One's Self.
